Chapter 793 Apologizing

Chapter 793 Apologizing

Magnus's eyes flickered with an unreadable emotion. After a pause, he took a breath and shook his head.

"You have one year before that. What do you plan to do?"

Atticus's response was immediate. "Train."

"Hmm, good." Magnus nodded approvingly, though this time, his gaze felt more probing.

"I can sense the Starhaven aura around you."

Magnus's words made Atticus's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but smile. Just like before, when Magnus had guessed that he could awaken other elements, he had done it again.

"Yes, Grandpa. I've been meaning to tell you..." Atticus went on to explain how he'd awakened the spirit element during the war and his theories about his bloodline.

It wasn't limited to the basic elements they knew, even space, and other elements he hadn't even thought possible, were also within his reach.

"Seraphina knows," Magnus pointed out.

Atticus wasn't shocked. If Magnus could detect it, then of course the Spirit Paragon herself would have noticed.

After they talked for a bit, Magnus informed Atticus about an upcoming meeting. The other paragons who had stayed behind were now in sector 3, and they all wanted to discuss the path forward.

The fact that they had requested his presence surprised Atticus. He couldn't help but wonder why.

What he didn't understand was the wave of mixed emotions that was currently sweeping through the human domain.

The meeting was held in the Enigmalnk Citadel, with only the paragons and Atticus in attendance. It didn't last long, these were beings with high comprehension and experience.

They didn't waste time on arguments but focused on discussing the underlying issues. The meeting concluded in a matter of minutes.

The highlights of the meeting focused on three main topics: Whisker, managing the backlash from Atticus's victory, and Atticus himself.

Magnus didn't say anything, but his anger was evident. After the meeting ended, Atticus found himself in the awkward position of trying to appease him.

It was the first time he had seen Magnus angry, and it was exactly as he'd imagined.

"Grandpa."

"..."

"Grandpa."

"..."

He was being ignored.

After countless attempts, Atticus finally sighed, "I'm sorry."

Magnus paused, then let out a deep breath. He wasn't one to talk about his feelings, but he remembered the fear and worry he'd felt upon learning about the death game.

How afraid he'd been when he saw other apexes die, how tense he'd been during Atticus's fight with Carius...

The thought that Atticus hadn't needed to go through all that left a bad taste in his mouth. But ultimately, it was a selfish feeling. It was Atticus's life, and he should be able to make his own choices.

Magnus turned to Atticus. "Just... be more careful."

Atticus smiled. "I will."

A few hours later, a large airship landed beside the citadel, and as Atticus and Magnus approached, the ramp lowered, and the Aegis ship crew began to descend.

As Amara and the crew stepped down from the airship, their gazes remained fixed on Atticus, even as they bowed respectfully to Magnus. Afterward, they each paid a separate and intense respect to Atticus directly.

Some might consider this a disrespect toward Magnus, but given who Atticus Ravenstein was now and what he had achieved, no one would see it that way.

Soon enough, they boarded the airship, and within seconds, it lifted into the sky, heading straight for Sector 3.
